Maybe, maybe not: Everyone is at risk for catching the HPV strains that Gardasil protects against. The amount of risk ranges from almost none to very high. A married person, where neither spouse has the viruses (hard to tell) and neither spouse will catch the virus from a 3rd person (even harder to tell), is at very low risk for catching it. He or she can get the vaccine for peace of mind, or just for protection.

Probably not: Gardasil is recommended for girls and women between age 9 and age 26 to prevent HPV infection. Mature, married woman are less likely to be exposed to the HPV virus because it is sexually transmitted. It is not recommended in this population. Best wishes!
